Other password managers indicate when a password has no longer been changed. I would advocate such a function as an optional function. I would activate it by default.

IF last change in the password field is older than X months, THEN issue a warning.

In my opinion, X should be selectable from several pre-assigned values, which could be linked to the on/off switch.

Output of a warning:

  • As a PUSH message
  • In a special list in the app (because PUSH messages are volatile)
  • In the affected entry itself

this assumes that your password could have been stolen, right? is there any other reason why one wants to change a password?

That is currently the only reason.

"Verifiers and CSPs SHALL NOT require users to change passwords periodically. However, verifiers SHALL force a change if there is evidence of compromise of the authenticator"
As far as I'm informed you should not change your password periodically, because it does not provide further security.

I agree. I don't want to support this weird idea of changing passwords periodically and thus won't implement this.
